ST. PETERSBURG, March 1G.--While the
czar was returning from requiem services
in the cathedral of St. Peter and st Paul,

with the affair, and domiciliary visits are
being made throughout the city. The
German police had warned the Russian
authorities that an attempt was to be
made against the czar's life, but the lat
ter failed to trace the plotters. A tele-
gram from Vienna confirms the news,

carried in the hand without exciting any
suspicion.

tanned that the recently discovered con-
spiracy of Russian tradesmen and land
owners to overthrow the czar's govern
ment was extensive, and included mum
ber of military officers, and that it was

averse to embarking in war.

broke out in the large brick building OF
Miller, Greiner & Co., adjoining the Com

probably caused by hot Goals dropping
on the floor. The fire spread with great
rapidity,. and within half an hour the
walls began to fall. The Commercial

BISMARCK, March 16.- The ice in the
Missouri south of this place has broken,
but it did not move over half a mile. In
the Yellowstone and little Missouri it has
broken and the rivers are overt1owlng
their banks, destroying railroad bridges
and other property. The immense
amount of water in these streams is now
flowing into the Missouri, and never in
the history of the country was there SO
much snow on the ground Every creek
is now swelled to the size of a river. Ii
the ice in the Missouri breaks there will
be terrific rush of water and II the Ice
gorges as it usually does, the entire coln-
try along the stream will be Hooded.
Mandan is in danger as she is on the low
land. Near the confluence OF the little
Heart and Missouri, the Northern Paclf-
ic has large amount OF dynamte on
hand to blow out the ice about the piers
of the iron bridge at the mouth OF little
Heart and Missouri, which will be used IN
case of necessity. Fortunately for the
river towns all the boats are safely sta
toned.

officials, Warden William j. McGarlgle,
of the county hospital, Warden Henry
Varnell, of the county insane asylum;
Edward Mcdonald engineer of the coun-
ty hospital, and the employees, Driscoll

taken before Judge Anthony, in criminal
court this morning. J. N. Stiles appeared
on behalf of state and stated that Nc
Garigle, Varnell and Mcdonald had three
indictments pending against them which
charged them with conspiracy to defraud,
and declared that one indictment involved
completely in the entire settlement OF a
sum exceeding 100000, while the other
indictments were for smaller amounts.
He asked that the three defendants
should furnish bail in the sum of $4,000
on each Indictment, and that bail of
Connolly and Driscoll be placed at $4,000
each. Judge Anthony said that when
charge of embezzlement was made against
a public officer. it was regarded as
higher grade of crime, and could not be
treated lightly. He fixed bail in the
amounts asked for by the state.
